Talk:De Grey Technology Review controversy

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I don't know anything about the subject of this article, but it seems to be framed in very POV language. Ben Finn 20:23, 14 August 2005 (UTC)

I agree, I am going to tag it as such... is this even an encyclopedia-relevent event? Or just a feud which is being perpetuated by this article? I read the early Tech Review articles and found them critical, but not a "controversy." Knotnic 16:02, 29 March 2006 (UTC)

I am removing the tag insofar as the sources of information are referenced. I will listen to suggestions of alternate phrasing if someone feels there is excessive POV--Ben Best 21:42, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

Mikklai, Why did you remove the section headings? The lack of an edit-comment makes your motivations a bit difficult to discern... Tjic 01:40, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

The article reads very well as a single logical flow of the evolution of events. There is a general style advice against exsessive sectioning into microscopic pieces. The purpose of sections is to improve readability. IMO the article is perfect without fragmentation. mikka (t) 01:44, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

Er. On the second thought, the article lacks an intro that briefly states the case. I may try write it 2-3 hours later (or you may do this, since you know things better). mikka (t) 01:49, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

I have written an introduction--Ben Best 21:42, 11 July 2006 (UTC)

BTW, while I am here and you are here, how about addressing the concern about sources? mikka (t) 01:44, 23 September 2005 (UTC)

[edit] The article is a bit off in details

While Pontin is not a proponent of SENS, the TR Challenge is a sincere effort on his and TR's part.

[edit] What happened to the Challange money?

The article reads that some $10k was "contributed" from each party, though only $10k was given to the "winner" of the Challenge. What about the other $10k ...What happened to it? Was it returned? Did Technology Review keep it? Seems to me that the Technology Review "writer" opened his mouth before he should have. ...Why are out-of-the-box thinkers still prosecuted in "science"? ...science in quotes there because it's just a method or process. ...One that needs to be updated. ...Oh wait, I forgot. Scientists think they know everything. ...Even though some crack comes by every few hundred years (or less) and shows them what fools they are. ...Oh my sad angry lost brothers, when will you learn?

Technology Review gave their 10k to the researchers because it was as good an attempt as was likely to be achieved (IIRC). The de Grey side didn't give their 10k because the requirements weren't met.--Nectar 04:24, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
